Is it too much to ask the Village to have the streets which access the schools (in my case, Hadley) in decent condition? The snow fell 15 hours ago and Hawthorne was a mess at 7:15. "A great many people think they are thinking when they are merely rearranging their prejudices." William James | ||

My morning got off on the wrong foot when, once again, the plow driver piled mounds of snow on either end of our drive. The mounds spilled down, blocking our driveway's apron with VERY heavy snow - piled about two feet high. These are the only places they can think of to put it? My garbage and recycling is sitting about eight feet from the curb and my shoulder hurts from scooping. Main roads in town were okay this morning, but side streets were still pretty snowy - and getting narrower with each snowfall! Be careful out there.  | |||

I'm on what I consider a major street --- Lorraine --- and I don't think they did much plowing here either. What gives? | |||

Friday, our neighborhood south of teddy, did not get plowed until 2pm. My cul de sac was not plowed until 5pm on Friday......Is Glen Ellyn short on road salt, because, I did not see any salt on the roads in Glen Ellyn? The plowing this winter has been a joke, no resident should have to take his snow blower out into the culdesac and blow the snow, becuase the village can't get out there before 5pm the next day.... | |||

I gotta say here on the north side things are different. I made a comment to myself on the way to work how nicely all the roads seemed. I suggest you move north of the tracks.  Of course that would take you out of the running for the remaining plan commission appointments, or so it would seem.What part of "no" don't you understand? | |||

Let me know when the hovel next door to you is for sale......I will move on up to the north side...As for the plan commission, I am in, I will submit my name.... | |||

The streets by Hadley are always bad. My street is usually not plowed for a long time after the snow has stopped falling. | |||

I always thought we only have one plow and that's a volunteer position, right? Oh - nevermind, I found our Village brochure:snow brochure and remember: "• The only feasible method of snowplowing of streets is using side-delivery snowplows — which, unfortunately, may cause an accumulation of snow at the end of driveways. (many times over)! • Shoveling snow into the street is prohibited. It creates an unsafe condition for drivers." Etc. Etc. How I wish, how I wish you were here. We're just two lost souls Swimming in a fish bowl, Year after year, Running over the same old ground. What have we found? The same old fears. Wish you were here. | |||

Fish, your comment and my comment about the plan commission got legs today. Oh and another thing, seriously, does Glen Ellyn lay salt on the streets anymore? | |||

IIRC, your vehicle looked as though it could climb several different types of mountain ranges. | |||

Oh, I knew it would. What part of "no" don't you understand? | |||

Do the South of Teddy people usually not take part in these things, like the planning commission? I am interested in serving the village in some way, but I don't want it to interfere with my serving the youth sports, especially those of IMJ jr. I really enjoy coaching his teams, and I don't want to miss that. As I was reading some of the information that 4MP sent me, it is very interesting, and very technical in code enforcement and stuff. I wonder if I have the experience to be a contributor in these issues. | |||

You're perfect for the job simply because of the location of your house. Awesome concept. | |||
|
| GlenEllynite |
Why, what do you know? Are they about to level my neighborhood in favor of a water park or something? Or because I am the only South of Teddy idiot that posts on here? | |||
|
| GlenEllynite |
I'm just guessing here, but doesn't "South of Teddy" live south of Teddy too? What part of "no" don't you understand? | |||
|
| GlenEllynite |
I guess I should have said regular contributor......I think the real South of Teddy has a life that keeps him away from the computer..... | |||

IMJ Did you get plowed out yet? To answer your question, we were getting low on salt along with most of our neighboring suburbs. We don't have much space to properly store it so we have to get it in small quantities but this time there was very little to be found. How big is your cul de sac? | |||
|
| GlenEllynite |
Well candidate, that is not very good news with another round of 5-9 inches of snow coming tonight. Cul-de-sac is not very big. | |||
|
| GlenEllynite |
My street is supposed to be in the red zone...a priority street given its condition, grade and lack of egress. They did not plow it until Friday afternoon.  Not that I cared...I was at work. | |||

Public Works has secured enough to keep us going so we should be good for a while although we may need to use it sparingly. If you haven't called public works with your concern feel free to shoot me an e-mail with your street name and I will ask about it for you. It can't hurt to ask. Then again maybe it could. Do you think that if we stored some in the middle of your cul de sac that you wouldn't need to shovel the rest of the winter.[joke] | |||
